{Sew} Modern Monday, vol. 3

It's Done!!

I really had no intention of finishing Roger's quilt this weekend, and was all set to work on another project, but Saturday afternoon Rog said he would take all 3 boys with him to haul equipment. Y'all, I don't think that has ever happened. Me home alone without even one kid? Not in the last 8 months anyway.

I realized this was probably the only opportunity I would have to get it quilted without interruptions, so I dove in. The original plan was to quilt in a zigzag across the quilt, but I quickly realized that was so not going to happen. It is about 76" by 64" and I knew it would only frustrate me and I would be trying to wrangle that thing for the next month, so I quilted in straight horizontal lines instead.

After a minor setback, I started hand-sewing the binding last night and after a marathon run of Flying Wild Alaska today, it is done. I'm so happy to have it totally finished before our anniversary.

Sorry for the less than stellar pictures. I didn't finish until about 8:00, so it was starting to get dark and the wind was blowing too much to hang it. Maybe tomorrow when it gets out of the dryer I can get a few better ones.
